[ The last thing he wants is to bare any part of his heart to Richie. God knows. But - well. He's humiliated himself worse for less crucial information. Such is the life of a spy. ]
You really can't conceive of any reason I might want to keep children from being torn apart? After offering me your sweet condolences?
Too bad that Richie is about 99% sure that even if he told more people about it, it wouldn't do a lick of good. They'd be too old to see it. They'd start looking the other way, and they'd kick up a fuss in the wrong directions. They'd find another Henry Bowers and they'd put the matter to rest once the lynching was done. It would eat and then It would sleep, and it would be a quarter of a century before anyone got a third shot at putting the beast to rest.
And what he's 100% certain of is that though there could be people around who might have a hope of helping, Lord Emperor Byerly is not one of them.]
What did you say? History is like water to you? Useless and available to spill?
Goodnight, good sir, and sweet dreams to you.
